Tell Me About Your Day
Tell Me About Your Day
Bilingual ceremonies led with joy, intention, and care — from intimate elopements to grand celebrations. One person. Fully present for your day.
Beach elopements, venue weddings, backyard ceremonies — wherever your moment happens, I'll be there to hold the space for it. One person, fully present for your day.
Whether you're marking an anniversary, a reconciliation, or a milestone — I'll write a renewal ceremony that honors your journey and where you are now.
One of the most sacred moments in a young woman's life. I honor the faith, the family, and her story — with the reverence and joy it deserves. Bilingual celebrations welcome.
I issue Los Angeles County confidential marriage licenses myself — at my office in Lomita, or delivered to you. No lines, no waiting room. Valid anywhere in California.
As a Notary Public authorized by Los Angeles County, I issue confidential marriage licenses myself — at my office in Lomita, or delivered to wherever you are. No lines, no waiting room, no day off work. A confidential license is a full legal marriage, recognized everywhere; it needs no witnesses, and the record stays private.
California asks me to confirm three things before I issue a confidential license. It’s a brief conversation, not a checklist.
Three yeses? You qualify.
Yes. Pick it up at my office or have it delivered, and hand it to your officiant on the day. They sign it after the ceremony and return it to me — or mail it to the county themselves.
That's the most common way couples use this. Add the license to any ceremony package and I arrive with it printed and ready; we sign before the ceremony and you're married by the end of it.
Neither matters. There's no residency or citizenship requirement for a California marriage license — a valid photo ID from any country works. Many of my couples travel in for exactly this reason.
The license is good for 90 days, so most changes need nothing at all. If it moves further than that, tell me — license appointments are easy to reschedule.
It's a regular, fully legal marriage — the difference is in the paperwork. No witnesses are required, and the record isn't part of the public index; only the two of you can request copies.
In 2014 I stood across from the woman I love and said I do. That moment cracked something open in me. Not a formality. A threshold. The most important thing two people will ever say to each other.
I didn't go looking for the work. I was given the chance to officiate — and the work fit me in ways I hadn't been ready for. I learned to hold the pace a ceremony needs. To stay out of the way of the moment. As if I'd been built for it.
I trained under Alan Katz, owner of Great Officiants — one of the most respected names in this industry — and over hundreds of ceremonies have learned to hold space for couples, families, and communities across Southern California — from Santa Barbara to San Diego. On beaches. In ballrooms. In backyards. In chapels. Every time, with the same intention. Create the space. Let the moment happen.
Most couples I work with want one person they can trust with the whole moment — not a vendor handoff. So I do all of it: officiant, notary, marriage license issuer. Bilingual where it matters. Present where it counts.
My amazing and wonderfully talented wife, Stacia, works in the wedding industry too. We're based in the South Bay — and we travel. This is our world. We take it seriously.
Whatever brought you here today — I'm ready when you are. Reach out and I'll take it from there, at whatever pace feels right for you.
